the only way for merge to feel it is if all U.S.A. players quit giving them action. It is a horrible site if you think about poker stars and full tilt and what they were. Merge is like the kiddy pool! anybody with me. I'll give my action to juicy or anybody else
I wish you guys would join me
Honestly, I wish you would just GTFO already. There are some really good US players here making money on Merge. Even some decent players making a few bucks. Hell, I'nm maerginal and I seem to be doing ok.
Maybe if you get off your high tilted freakin' horse and take a look at whats wrong with your game you could be ok. Just seems like it it ain't gift wrapped and dropped in your lap, it's gotta be the Merge's fault. Ask yourself.... why you and not all the others???
I agree cadi merge is no where near as random as what tilt/stars was but then again we only remember what we want right? LOL
Ton theres nothing you can do about 2 and 3 outers and gutshots. what could you possibly do to work on your game if them are consistently beating you in big pots to put you out?
ok then yall obv doin ok glad yall making good monies on there
I miss poker stars thats what i have to say
tell me how you really feel HAAAHAAHA
Don't constantly put yourself in a situation where 2 and 3 outers can put you out. Not every hand yoyu play as to be an all or nothing hand. It' ok to call and not raise. I still struggle with this myself, but I am lasting longer and playing ITM more regularly. Bad beat are always going to happen.Quote:

Almost seems like there is a timer or something saying screw random cards its time to eliminate people.
Quicker people are out quicker they buy in again?
i would prefer if you kept your comments to your self from now on TONelson hope its that easy
at TimNy My friend that is a pro told me the variance is obv gonna be worse below the 2 dollar level anywhere, but thats what i can afford to learn on, however... I am learning that playing like bingo pays out evidently cause playing solid poker does not prevail on 1 table 9 man sngs then i cant build a bank on there
Well, while I feel TONelson is coming at the wrong direction, I do feel there is some value of learning to adjust your strategy to account for Merge's problems. In the long run, learning to overcome difficulties like their RNG can make your game stronger in other areas. On the other hand, their RNG SUCKS, and I'm sure Merge will be out of business as soon as poker is legalized in the US.
Have you played on full tilt lately its horrible
I do not understand why everyone who hates the site wants to see it go down, why not just not play there?Quote:

carbon is nby far the worste site i have played along with ultimate bet.....there is no customer service...there is lack of customer appreciation all the way....wat they have the seat game for sunday? or they give u a few freerolls here and there...cmon man....there was at times they had bigger frs....bigger guar....and p2p.....what defend carbon? ohh its the only site really the usa players can play on? there are shitttttt loads of other sites......carbon is fukin every1 that they are allowed 2....tell me the last big win any1 here has hit? besides the 1 or 2 people recently to hit a few hundred......
BOTTOM LINE....CARBON IS A FUCKIN GREEDY POS AND THERE IS NOTHING ANY1 CAN DEFEND bout IT.....
for me it averages out, if get 2 bad beats soon get the only winning card in river
I love when people moan about poker sites. It makes me giggle.
right now I think carbon is he best place for u.s. players to play. maybe someday it will be legalized for all u.s. players.
I literally won like 11 hands in a row against a full table - I was the merge hot seat for once - I was up to $45k in first by $40k...Merge was fkn broke - it was redonkulous but at least it was in my favor this time.... Consider this, AA, KK, QQ JJ JJ 222 777 etc all in a row just crushing people. I think their RNG is shet but Im learning to play along and take my first or second every 20 tourneys and forget about the one tourney where I'm 85% into river with KK pockets against Aq for $162 (2nd place) and yes, he donks Ace on river. My biggest pot on merge and fk me running - this happens and I'll do it this way every time cuz I like my chances/odds.
It seems to me u need to play more hands like this on merge: dry flop - 3 handed. u have suited cards. light betting on flop u limp alomg. dude hits str8 on turn and u KNOW hes gonna shove all in no matter what n river like they all do - You have a nut Flush draw - you call the 700 knowing implied odds says you can make $5k. And sure enough club hits river his 8 out str8 beat by my 9 out flush and hes all in - I giggle, u been merged, and collect $5k pot. You aint winning shet on merge without catching a couple 30%ers and if u can do it for only 20% of your chips etc... do it.
I do not think they even care.
